Chris Cornell is doing the new james bond theme?!!!?! Wow thats weird but great!!!

[Olivavu]

Lemonheads were fantastic at Somerset House the other week, absolutely loved it!

As for Incubus, yep I do like them. Seen them three times, twice at Reading and the last time they played was such a letdown.

'S.C.I.E.N.C.E.' is my personal favourite...a production masterclass that one. Such a cool album, it's a shame that they haven't come close to matching it since. 'Make Yourself' and 'Morning View' have some good tracks, but they just don't the energy and sheer excellent of 'S.C.I.E.N.C.E.'.

'A Crow Left Of The Murder' is alright, easily their weakest album for me, never gets going at all. Too boring.

'Fungus Amongus' has some cool tunes and is a nice precursor to 'S.C.I.E.N.C.E.'.

Yeah new album is out in the autumn and they said they would be touring when we saw them the other weekend in London, I urge anyone who likes them to go see them!

I didn't go to the somerset house Lemonheads gig but the No Looking Back show at Shepherd's Bush Empire (playing all of It's A Shame About Ray) was amazing. Got Evan's setlist afterwards too. Takes pride of place on my wall next to my Bob Mould setlist.

I'd just like to add my two penneths to this divine pearl jam w*nkathon. I went round my mates girlfriends house for a party, we all got stoned until the early hours and one of the lads there put ten on, I'd honestly never heard a single note by Pearl Jam before and was hooked, that was about two years ago. Listened to Ten non stop for about a year, since I got Leeds tickets I've gotten into the other albums as well, I don't think they have a bad album.

I'd say Black's my favourite. The last few lines are so moving:

"I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be the sun, in somebody else's sky but why, why, why can't it be mine?"

If only Audioslave were still playing it would be even better.

I thought Radiohead were headlining V not Reading.

[pinback]

I heard Fix You at Glastonbury and it really was the moment of the weekend for me (the bit where the guitar bloke bursts into octaves). It was sensational. A real event, which is what I want from a headliner at Glasto...

[pogal]

Off-topic (for Pogal):

'Tis funny you should bring that moment up, and I missed this in the heat of the discussion the other day, but when I first heard 'Fix You' on the radio I groaned because Coldplay's record company had released another slow one as a single (), I was discussing it with a friend and she said it was about comforting someone who's family member has died. Hearing it again I started to slowly come around to it and when watching it at Glasto exactly that bit I think you're talking about and the accompanying lyric

'Tears stream down your face / when you lose something you cannot replace'

really got me. At that moment (and whenever I hear the song) I think about when my Grandad died, and I find that part of the song incredibly powerful. Therefore, to those who describe Coldplay as contrived I say 'Bollox!'. There was nothing contrived about the feeling I had at that moment and the means by which the band tapped into it for me.

On-topic:

Eddie Vedder's favourite colour (color) Smarties are: orange.

[hallamboy]

Exactly right - that bit was just so powerful it was unbelievable. I don't think I'd ever heard that song except maybe on the radio until Glastonbury and it really did blow me away.

A fantastic festival memory from a band I don't even like really - shows what good music (whoever it's by) can do.

Beware ye judges of music you think is uncool... As Gloria Estefan said, the rhythm IS gonna get you!

And Stone Gossard eats blue Smarties...
